You want to know where you stand? Put your money where your mouth is and make an actual offer, not a thread to whine about the fact that sombody won't sell you something that you want. Perhaps the seller is just as motivated to sell the sketch as you are to sell your patch...except his is a one of a kind piece of art where there is no "market price".

Never got the chance, bud. I would've paid $550, probably $600. But every PM was answered with a No. We're at different areas, he wants to sell which is why he sent it auction. I won't do that because I don't want to sell. Common sense would've answered your question, Iggy.
